Fellowships
To foster research and study in the area of law, economics and business, each year NYU Law School offers eight Lederman/Milbank Fellowships to second year law school students who want to write a research paper in Law and Economics or Law and Business.
Lederman/Milbank Fellows receive an $8,000 fellowship to write a research paper under the close supervision of a faculty member.
Fellows also participate in a workshop, held shortly after they are selected, at which the Fellows present an early draft of their paper to a group of faculty advisors and the other Fellows and receive detailed comments and suggestions. In their third-year, Fellows present their finished paper at a workshop and dinner held at the Wall Street law firm, Milbank Tweed.
Each year at graduation, NYU Law School offers a prize to the best paper in Law and Economics. Fellows may participate in this contest as well.
